A phone number for some taxi service in Madrid
I think. . .
91-547-82-00 (this is the way it was written on a taxi I saw)
or maybe written like 915-47-82-00 (it seems like everyone in Spain writes the phone number a different way)

--takes about 1 hr 25 min to walk/jog to
-Palacio de Cristal

Some neat cities near Madrid
-Avila: the city that my room-mate Dario came from with a well preserved medieval wall and some old churches and other structures.  This city is about an hour northwest of Madrid
-Toledo: about an hour drive southwest of Madrid.  This city has more Arabic influence than Avila
-Segovia: about an hour drive northwest of Madrid.  This city has a nice aqueduct.

Some items
-took a trip to Avila on 1-17-15
